The corrosion studies of 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid as an effective corrosion inhibitor of low alloy steel

The dataset contains the electrochemical studies evaluating if gallic acid is a corrosion inhibitor for low alloy steel. Three measurements were carried out each case; corrosion potential (label ecorr), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (label eis) and cyclic polarization (label cp). The measurements were carried out in sodium chloride, acidified with HCl to pH = 4. The measurements were carried out in carob molasses(label kar/karob), a green corrosion inhibitor containing gallic acid, for synthetic gallic acid (label gallicacid/GA), and two different compounds present within carob molasses: pyrocatechin (label katechina) and amylose (label amyloza). The file names also contain the concentrations used. The measurements were carried out in a three electrode cell with Ag|AgCl as a reference electrode and Pt counter electrode, using Gamry Reference 600+ potentionstat. The studies were part of the bachelor thesis of Miss Anita Rudol.
